One of the best children's programs in the Boston area! My children have all began their career there in their Little Bundles class ( 6 WEEKS of age!) and now continue to grow as they get older (Whiz Kid-5, MIte-3 and Waddler-16 months). We love how the program grows with your child beginning with the first classes as they give you skills like forward rolls and baby sit-ups (so stinkin cute!) and as they get older, the kids are able to take the skills that they have learned and have applied them in the program. They also work on independent play with the little ones, team work building with the older ones and it's all done in a non-competitive atmpsphere where the staff encourage and challenge each child based on their skill and comfort level. There is always an adorable puppet show and the staff make sure that they know each child and parent every class- and the music... the playlists each week are AWESOME! My husband and I always talk about how great the music is to listen to while we are there each week- we enjoy it just as much as the kids do! We have celebrated multiple parties with the gym over the past 5 years (From our kids turning one, to our upcoming daughter turning 4 at the end of this month!) and while the cost is up there, it is totally worth every penny! They make your child feel like #1, they play their favorite games, dances, songs, gymnastic skills and literally don't even make you lift a finger! We have brought our own food and cake but they also have a package that provides all that as well! We've been to other Boston-area parties and they stand by and do NOTHING with the kids other than occupy dead air for 1.5 hours. My Gym Boston runs marathons around your child and their guests during their special day- and the staff always amazes me by saying they still have one or two parties after ours- where do they find that energy?!
We love how the program also has a gentle approach of encouraging our children to try out what they offer each week (the gym set up changes each week- I wish my own gym did that!!) but the staff (because they are seriously so personable!) know the comfort level of our children, when to challenge them and also when to bring them back to my husband or myself if they need a couple of minutes to get refocused.
We love the structure of the program. Our children have learned how to sit and wait their turn, how to play fun childhood games (ring around the rosey, redlight/green light, freeze dance) how to make friends and play alongside other children. This didn't happen overnight- it took around a month for our oldest to become acclimated with the program and when it was time to explore vs when it is time to listen. This has been a huge help with transitioning her to preschool and now kindergarten.
Looking forward to watching the program grow with our children and in our Boston community!
We would recommend this to any new parent or nanny looking to find their way with a newborn, a parent or nanny or grandparent with a toddler looking to get them tired and a family with an elementary school child looking to keep light structure and activity in their child's schedule without overwhelming...

Rating: ★★★★★
my child has been going to my gym, and I must say its always an incredible experience. From the moment we step inside, we were greeted by friendly staff who make us feel welcomed and excited to explore all the activities the gym has to offer.
First and foremost, the gym is impeccably clean and well-maintained. The safety measures in place are outstanding, providing parents like me with peace of mind while our little ones enjoy themselves. The equipment is state-of-the-art, with a wide range of age-appropriate options that cater to all developmental stages.
The gym offers a fantastic variety of activities that engage children both physically and mentally. My child had a blast climbing on the colorful rock walls, jumping on the trampolines, and navigating through the challenging obstacle courses. The staff members were incredibly supportive and encouraging, ensuring that each child felt empowered to conquer new challenges.
What impressed me the most was the gym's commitment to promoting healthy habits and fostering a love for fitness in children. They offer age-appropriate exercise classes and group activities that make staying active fun and enjoyable.
The gym also goes the extra mile to make every visit a memorable one. They organize special events, such as themed parties and holiday celebrations, that keep the kids entertained and excited. The staff's enthusiasm and dedication to creating a fun and inclusive environment are truly commendable.
Lastly, the prices are reasonable, considering the quality of facilities and services provided while making it accessible to families of all backgrounds.
Overall, I cannot recommend my gym BOSTON enough. It is a haven for children to play, learn, and grow in a safe and stimulating environment. Whether you're looking to burn off some energy, develop new skills, or simply have a great time, the kids gym is the place to be. Trust me, your child will...
Read moreI rarely write reviews, but MyGym and its staff have been so wonderful for my 1 year old daughter, I'd like to spread the word! The staff Alexa, Donegan, Abby, Gretchen, Coach Tee, Caroline, Lila, and Brian are full of warmth and enthusiasm, and make every effort to play with each child and get to know their caregiver. The space has a ton of things for kids to explore: trampolines, slides, obstacle courses, climbing wall, ramps, etc. It encourages kids to be active and play independently, as well as play and share with other children--our daughter's ability to crawl/climb/walk/socialize increased dramatically once we started bringing her to class. The staff bring out new activities every 10 minutes, sing songs, play games, set up skill stations, put on puppet shows, and change the setup of the space daily, so there is always something new and fun to engage with. I imagine a lot of planning and coordination must happen for them to so smoothly carry out each class, but the staff make it look so easy!
Until we signed up for MyGym, we found it difficult to find indoor activities for an infant on a 2 nap schedule. Library singalongs, music/dance classes etc almost always happened during her naps. But there are so many classes available at MyGym, that we are often there at least 5 times a week, and each visit is always a joy! I also appreciate how easy it is to schedule classes (you can call, text, or email with any questions, and I'm always stunned at how quickly someone will respond). I've never had reason to do this, but they also make it really easy to pause or cancel membership. Parking is free and right by the building, which is a dream for a city location.
L absolutely adores the staff and cheers whenever we tell her we're taking her to class. We are so grateful to have this space to take her....
